Concrete float

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hand float for concrete (upside down)

A concrete float is a tool used to finish a concrete surface by making it smooth. A float is used after the surface has been made level using a screed. In addition to removing surface imperfections floating will compact the concrete as preparation for further steps.

A float can be a small hand tool, a larger bull float with a long handle or a power float (also called a power trowel) with an engine.
